| Here’s to the people who gave me life
|
| And then showed me how to live it
|
| And taught me that you measure love
|
| By how freely you can give it
|
| And the gift I give to you
|
| Is the lesson that I learned
|
| That when a love is true
|
| It has nothing in return
|
| Unconditional love, that they gave to me
|
| It wasn’t mine to keep and I knew someday
|
| I’d hand it down to you and hope that I can be
|
| The one who makes you see
|
| The importance of unconditional love
|
| And there were times I know I let them down
|
| But never once was I rejected
|
| And when I stood alone to face this world
|
| Somehow I still felt protected
|
| That’s the common bond we share
|
| And it will last through the years
|
| And you can trust that I’ll be there
|
| Through the good times and the tears
|
| Unconditional love, like they gave to me
|
| It’s not yours to keep and I know someday
|
| Someone will look to you and you will have to be
|
| The one who makes him see
|
| The importance of unconditional love |
